Agenda Item Brief: Staff is requesting approval of contract laborers to help maintain Parks, Park Rentals, Special Events, Street Maintenance in the amount of $440,000 in support of the 2014/2015 Maintenance program.

Background: Hiring contract laborers will enable Maintenance to continue to perform essential duties for Parks and Street Maintenance at FY2013/2014 levels. It will also allow for Special Events support to be provided at lower cost.

Analysis:

The City will be utilizing the “joinder” provision allowed under RFP/ Contract number 2029/14026. Specifically, the City will be using a contract for temporary employees issued by the State of Nevada to Manpower. The State’s bid represented high quality temporary employees and the City is able to join this contract and leverage those higher volumes to our benefit.

The Community Services Department plans to utilize the $440,000 to supplement Parks and Street Maintenance; Special Events setup, maintenance and tear down; and Graffiti Removal in the following amounts:

•$252,200 for Parks Maintenance to mow, pick up trash, edge turf, irrigation maintenance and one temporary employee to run the Community Service program

•$120,000 for Street Maintenance, including crack sealing, street patching, fill pot holes and cleaning alleys

•$40,000 to support Special Events and clean up for Park Rentals

•$17,000 for Graffiti removal

•$10,800 for WC Sheriff work crews to trim shrubs, pull weeds and clean play equipment

Alternatives:

Recommended Motion: I move to approve the use of contract laborers in the amount of $440,000 during FY14/15.
